Super route from Pösing to Regensburg. The challenge of "collecting" the churches along the way gives us a wonderfully hilly route in the first part.

    Ordentliche Tour mit guten Höhenmetern, aber durchaus gemütlich zu absolvieren. Einige Streckenabschnitte sind nicht leicht zu finden. So sollte beachtet werden, daß nach dem Biergarten, wenn man wieder die ehemalige Bahnstrecke quer, der Weg recht steil abwärts geht und nicht als solcher zu erkennen ist. Ebenso auch der Weg zur "Aussicht". Dort muss man auch nicht die selbe Strecke zurück. Alles in allem aber eine sehr schöne Wanderung.

    This gravel tour was a great adventure for us. We started the tour in Passau following the Donau to Regensburg. This gave us two days to to get us a little into it. It broke the part of the Donau into two, we ended the tour in 8 days in Passau. Instead of following the GPX we sometimes followed the indications of the official cycling tours to stay away from busy traffic.
